Re: Verizon takes a shot at AT&T & iPhone in new ads

They've been touting service area for years and people simply don't care, particularly if they are in even a minor metro area because they'll get coverage from any of the major carriers. IOW, the only people they are marketing to in these types of ads are people in 'the sticks' of which there are few relatively speaking.

Instead of wasting time with maps they should be DEMOING Droid. I'm watching the Charger game and saw one of the absolutely pointless droid commercials where some stealth fighters drop some black balls all over the place and the commercial ends with "droid is here" or other some such pointless crap.

There are no stealth fighters or magic balls. Nothing shown in the commercial is something I can buy and there is no product shown to even generate a desire to buy. They could have been selling cars or beer or a new Star Warz toy. It reminds me of the huge AT&T mLife mess aired during the Super Bowl that had people thinking it was a commercial for Met-Life. VZW is flushing ad $$$ down the toilet Gates/Seinfeld style with this.

Really! I think Apple does it right; they show the actual iPhone in action, and what you see in the commercial isn't pre-rendered, the phone actually runs that well. They should show the Droid browsing around in Google Maps, show it stuck to a windshield calling out directions, show how fast the browser is, etc. They need to expound on its real abilities.
